Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silkworm pupa sex separation technology, specifically a high-speed silkworm pupa sex separation machine. Background Technology
[0002] The quality of silk from male cocoons far surpasses that of female cocoons, and reeling male and female cocoons separately reduces the amount of misplaced silk. If male and female cocoons are sorted before boiling, the quality of raw silk can be greatly improved. Currently, the common method for separating male and female silkworm pupae is to use infrared spectroscopy while the pupae are still inside the cocoon.
[0003] For example, the announcement number CN217888745U, entitled "A Silkworm Pupa Sex Separation System," includes a shell.
[0004] The outer shell contains two symmetrically arranged fixed columns, with an infrared detector fixed between them. The bottom of the outer shell also contains two symmetrically arranged support columns and four symmetrically arranged support columns… It utilizes four guide rails located in the center, allowing silkworm pupae of different sexes to fall by horizontally moving and switching between them. However, rapidly falling pupae may be squeezed and deformed at the junction of guide rail 3 with the upper guide rail 1 or the lower guide rail 2, or may fail to connect with the corresponding guide rail due to time differences, resulting in a relatively low collection efficiency.
[0005] This case arose in order to resolve the aforementioned issues. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a high-speed silkworm pupa sex separation machine, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a high-speed silkworm pupa sex sorting machine, comprising multiple guide rails inclinedly arranged by a support, with collectors for placing male and female silkworm pupae respectively arranged below the guide rails, an infrared detector fixed on the upper side of the guide rails, and a sorting mechanism located at the output position on the lower side of the guide rails, the sorting mechanism separating the male and female silkworm pupae and dropping them into the corresponding collectors.
[0008] Preferably, there are two guide rails, and the bottom of each guide rail has two branches that are used as discharge ports. The collector includes a collection box one or a collection box two corresponding to the discharge port positions.
[0009] Preferably, the sorting mechanism includes a second cylinder fixedly connected to a bracket below the guide rail. The second cylinder is horizontally arranged, and its output end faces inward and is connected to a push rod. Push blocks one and two are connected at intervals on the push rod. The guide rail has through slots at the two outlets, and baffles are inserted into the through slots. Linkage blocks one and two are connected to the lower side of the baffles, and the positions of linkage blocks one and two correspond vertically to those of push blocks one and two.
[0010] Preferably, the baffle is positioned flush with the discharge port, and linkage block one and linkage block two are staggered and connected to the lower side of the baffle. Linkage block one and linkage block two are arranged in the same straight line direction so as to be aligned with push block one and push block two vertically.
[0011] Preferably, push block one and push block two are triangular in shape with a slope on the lower side, and linkage block one and linkage block two are triangular in shape with a slope on the upper side, wherein the two slopes of linkage block one and push block one can fit together, and the two slopes of linkage block two and push block two can fit together.
[0012] Preferably, the push block one and the linkage block one are in contact with each other at their middle positions in the initial position, and the push block two and the linkage block two are in contact with each other at their middle positions.
[0013] Preferably, the guide rails are provided in multiple horizontally adjacent arrangements, and the bottom of the guide rails share a large fixed frame. A horizontally placed cylinder is installed at the support below each guide rail, and the output end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to a movable frame.
[0014] Preferably, the movable frame is slidably connected to the upper side of the fixed frame and is smaller in size than the fixed frame, and each movable frame can be moved and used independently.
[0015] After adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art: This utility model is a high-speed silkworm pupa sex sorting machine. By designing a more efficient sorting mechanism, specifically, after the upper infrared detector detects the sex of the silkworm pupae, the cylinder located at the relatively bottom has more time to receive signals and make feedback drive, so as to effectively separate female pupae and male pupae, and greatly improve the sorting efficiency.

[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown: A high-speed silkworm pupa sex sorting machine includes two guide rails 1 inclinedly arranged by a support 15, and collection boxes 6 and 7 for placing male and female silkworm pupae are respectively arranged on the inner side of the bottom. The bottom of the guide rail 1 forms two branches that are used as discharge ports 01. The outlets of the two discharge ports 01 are located in collection box 6 or collection box 7 respectively. Infrared detectors 2 are fixed on the upper sides of the two guide rails 1.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the guide rail 1 is equipped with a single-outlet (single outlet 01 for silkworm pupae) sorting mechanism at the two outlets 01. The sorting mechanism includes a second cylinder 5 fixedly connected to the bracket 15 below the guide rail 1. The second cylinder 5 is horizontally arranged, and its output end faces inward and is connected to a push rod 13. Push blocks 12 and 11 are connected at intervals on the push rod 13. The guide rail 1 has through slots at the two outlets, and baffles 8 are inserted into the through slots. Linkage blocks 9 and 10 are connected to the lower side of the baffles 8, and the positions of linkage blocks 9 and 10 correspond vertically to those of push blocks 12 and 11.
[0024] Since the baffle is positioned flush with the discharge port 01 to completely block it after it rises, the two baffles 8 form an angle. Therefore, the first linkage block 9 and the second linkage block 10 are connected alternately to the lower side of the baffle 8, so that the first linkage block 9 and the second linkage block 10 are placed in the same straight line direction and can be aligned with the first push block 12 and the second push block 11.
[0025] Push block 12 and push block 21 are triangular in shape with an inclined surface on the bottom. Linkage block 19 and linkage block 20 are triangular in shape with an inclined surface on the top. The two inclined surfaces of linkage block 19 and push block 12 can fit together, and the two inclined surfaces of linkage block 20 and push block 21 can fit together, so that when the cylinder drives the push rod 13 to move, it can drive the baffle to rise or fall with the help of the push blocks and linkage blocks.
[0026] The baffle 8 is located at the intersection of the two discharge ports 01. When it moves upward to a high position, it can block the discharge port 01 below it and allow the silkworm pupae to be discharged from the other discharge port 01, so as to achieve the separation of male and female silkworm pupae.
[0027] Working principle: Under normal conditions, one baffle 8 is in the high position, and the other baffle 8 is in the low position—its top is flush with the bottom of the guide rail 1 (as shown in the attached diagram). Figure 2 As shown), after moving the push rod 13, the two baffles 8 can be driven to rise and fall rapidly in an alternating manner. When the silkworm pupa passes through the infrared detector 2, if it is a female pupa, one baffle 8 on the corresponding side will be in a low position, and the other baffle 8 will be in a high position to block it, so that the female or male pupa can be discharged from the discharge port 01 to the corresponding collection box 1 6 or collection box 2 7 (e.g., male pupa is placed in collection box 1 6, and female pupa is placed in collection box 2 7).
[0028] To switch the position of baffle 8 more quickly, the initial position can be set so that the middle positions of push block 12 and linkage block 9 (or push block 21 and linkage block 20) are aligned, so that the travel distance is halved.
[0029] Example 2
[0030] Compared to the method in Embodiment 1, the track needs to be improved and the structural design is more complex. Therefore, this embodiment directly improves the receiving method at the discharge position.
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the guide rails 1 are designed to be arranged in multiple adjacent positions, and an infrared detector 2 is fixed on the upper side of the guide rails 1. The bottom of all guide rails 1 shares a large fixed frame 3, which is used to limit the reception of female pupae (or male pupae) falling from each guide rail 1. A horizontally placed cylinder 4 is installed at the support 15 below each guide rail 1. The output end of the cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to a movable frame 14. The movable frame 14 is slidably connected to the upper side of the fixed frame 3 and is smaller than the fixed frame 3. Each movable frame 14 can be moved and used independently and receives the corresponding male pupae (or female pupae, to distinguish the sex of the pupae received by the fixed frame 3).
[0032] When in use, after detecting the sex of the silkworm pupa at the corresponding guide rail 1, the moving frame 14 can be moved by the corresponding cylinder 4 to quickly and directly receive and sort the male and female silkworm pupae.
[0033] The advantage of this design is that once the upper infrared detector 2 detects the sex of the silkworm pupa, the lower cylinder 4 has more time to receive signals and make feedback, resulting in higher sorting efficiency.
[0034] The above-described embodiments are provided for illustrative purposes. Based on the above description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification; its protection scope must be determined according to the claims.
